Re: Games Completed 2018

My main memories of The Phantom Pain are: a. Running long distances between missions, b. Running to drop-in points to swap out the companion I would rather be using for D-Horse so that I can (see point a), and c. Running to drop-in points to get extracted so that I can redeploy to the other side of ...

Re: Games Completed 2018

I liked Ground Zeroes quite a bit better than The Phantom Pain, in hindsight. It had everything that makes The Phantom Pain incredible but none of the Empty Sandbox Syndrome that plagued its "full version."

Re: Videogame Criticism

Im bringing this up because I havent seen a single critical review of the game that didnt mention Trump directly or in veiled terms like the "current political climate" which to me it's weird since the game is based on something that happened in the 1990's, did americans forget that the b...

Re: Games Completed 2018

Basically anything that descends from Theif or System Shock. It’s a terrible name for a particular puzzle and mechanics design style. They’re a subset of the more broad ‘systemic game’ design methodology (which is one where you design systems and the rules those systems have for interacting, and th...

Re: Games Completed 2018

There are some clever ideas in here, both in terms of story delivery and mechanics, but I think if you’re not someone who enjoys these so called ‘immersive sims’ this probably isn’t the game to change your mind. I tried to get someone to explain to me what an immersive sim is once and I was just li...

Re: Videogame Criticism

Joshua Rivera's review of Far Cry 5 is not just an incredible review of a videogame, it's also a pretty damning takedown of the "cowardly" way we talk about videogames and the themes and stories they purport to tell. Especially timely given the recent release of the Ready Player One film a...

Re: Our next podcast recording (1.4.18) - 313: Resident Evil 3: Nemesis (Biohazard 3: Last Escape)

Resident Evil 3 feels like the most inconsequential entry in the mainline series. Jill, clad in an extremely impractical miniskirt and tube top combo, tries to escape from the infected Raccoon City and accidentally gets embroiled in another Umbrella plot along the way. Ultimately, she succeeds, and ...

Ohhhh, I'm sorry, I don't really think it's appropriate to plug it on this forum. I suppose technically I shouldn't have even mentioned it earlier.

Re: Games Completed 2018

I'm loving that list of Switch games completed :) I really need to diversify... I do a Switch podcast so I am somewhat obligated to play many of the new releases every week, though I have let it get a bit out of control of late. I'm playing through Destiny 2 on PS4 right now, I expect to finish it ...
